Thanks so much Dr. Anitha. I'm doing much better now. We have had a lot of people sick here with cedar fever. That was my first real bad experience with it.
Thanks again.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Symptoms of dry cough, runny nose and throat irritation could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications. Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate. You will need to see if repeated episodes occur with exposure to the allergen. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor.
In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
